A Lackluster App for Team Communication
What do you like best about the product?
It's nice to have all of your conversations, deadlines, and goals in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface is so boring and antiquated. We switched over to Slack, which is much more organized and aesthetically pleasing for our brand and business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were staying on task with our internal deadlines constantly on display (and moving forward or backward depending on how productive we were being as a team).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We switched to Slack recently and could not be happier.
Great program to use.
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed using Asana because of its organizational skills and abilities to communicate with all members of the project and let them know real time updates while providing next steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not dislike anything about the app I do feel it there could be improvements in regards to more organizational styles. I feel that better search options could be improved as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Over all communication management by allowing us to be in the same page with projects updates and results.
Fantastic Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can create and nest subtasks for clearer organization. I also love that you can tag your colleagues, as well as assign specific tasks, which helps everyone stay organized and on top of things.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it's difficult to view task lists in full screen. To do that I have to copy the link to the list into a new tab, and I often accidentally click out of it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps our team stay organized and on top of things. I helps prevent things from falling through the cracks, and where things in emails can get overlooked, Asana tasks are more difficult to miss when you're going through a list.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider it's compatibility with other products you use, like Slack.
Complex but Useful
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to set deadlines for myself and get reminders. It was also really easy to reassign a task to the next person who needed to work on it, or tag someone with a question.
What do you dislike about the product?
It had a pretty steep learning curve, and after three years I was still figuring out all the features it has to offer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a lot of really complex, cross-departmental projects going all the time, and we weren't all in the same location; Asana made it easy to pass tasks from person to person and keep track of what your responsibilities were.
Effective and easy project management
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create projects and tasks. Very user friendly. Team collaboration and file sharing is one of the best features.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a free version. I feel that most of my negative feedback would be solved by paid plan. Perhaps too many email notifications is a major dislike. I wish the notification settings had a more robust filtering option. Also, it would be great if the card view projects could be automatically organized by date, like Trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improve project management, task delegation and collaboration. We find it beneficial to have the project data available at one spot and the ability to attached files to tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for small teams. Asana offers a free version which perfect to get you going. Our team has been using free Asana for a number of years now.
Organize and direct projects in a very easy way
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a very complete platform to follow tasks and projects as a team, its interface has a great design and it is also very interactive, it allows me to add tasks, discussions and upload all kinds of files. It also has a native mobile application for Android and IOS very useful to take it anywhere.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is almost impossible to prioritize the tasks, in addition the complements or integrations of third parties are somewhat expensive for a small team, I could say that the free version is very limited, so it is not recommended for large projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can keep up with the other departments of my work since each team member can upload their updates, it is also very useful to keep the team organized and finish tasks on time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent tool for large teams of people.
Love Asana. Very flexible. Feels right for any project.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the new charting / dependency tools. I love the easy to user interface. Everything is very well thought out and intuitive to grasp. The help videos and blogs are fantastic and make this an easy to pick up system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how subtasks/sub-subtasks get lost for daily workers. For example. The primary task when visiting a project is assigned to a project lead such as finish Services website pages. Now we have sub tasks such as create content and find images. Within those sub tasks we have tens of sub-subtasks. Assigning each image or each page of content to a specific person. When I come to a project, the view presented gives me no indication that I have work to do on the main task. I spend tons of time jacking with searches and filters to find my work. I have hundreds of things assigned to me at any given moment. Sorting my tasks by project results in tons of traversing up the tasks tree to understand the context of the assignment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization. Communication. Status Updates without interrupting work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a great tool. You get into it what you get out of it. When you scale an organization and/or work on huge projects you need to remember asana doesn't replace project administration. It assists it like a precision tool. You have to have a plan of how to structure and implement the project in Asana prior to the project. Get your team trained early.
Neutral
What do you like best about the product?
I wouldn't say that Asana helping me too much. It save me time, but not so much.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is too busy for me and not so intuitive as I wish it will be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling task, team collaboration
Great for small teams!
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to add and assign subtasks and view your calendar of task due dates
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up different teams and adding predecessors is a bit difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for task management and delegation.
It help you realize what to do each day, let people know what they need to do for completion of greater tasks, and and delegate tasks to other team members

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works well for small teams, however if your team is large, a lot of work needs to be put in to make it streamlines and organized.
It can be confusing if managers are trying to find their employees tasks in a group, and there are a lot of ways to organize that which can sometimes be a hinderance.

Fair experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like the feature that you can assign people and send them the notification to let them know about the task. Also, being able to set the due dates is also helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
- A lot of email traffic.. Sending notification is good however, every single change that you make , other people are getting notofied which this sometimes might be disturbing for other people.
- If you're using basic plan , you cannot get the gantt chart feature which I think it is a key feature for a project management tool

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a company we have a lot of projects either small or big and sometimes it is getting hard to follow each of them. So, to have a clear instructions and being able to see who is responsible from each subtasks make the project more efficient and help it to move faster.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good start for small size companies to keep track of their projects. but if you have recourses , I think you should consider having a business account cause seems like upgraded version has more useful features.
